President Jackson is leading
the Institute in the creation of the Rensselaer Plan, a broad-based, intensive
planning process. The Rensselaer Plan comprises both a goal and a road
map for the Institute to attain prominence as a world-class technological
research university, with global outlook and global impact.

The successful execution of
the Rensselaer Plan depends on the thoughtful input of all the Institute’s
constituencies. WE URGE ALUMNI TO BECOME INVOLVED!

The draft of the plan will
be available online in mid-December, at /www.rpi.edu/CampusInfo/.
You may access it with the user name "rpi" and the password
"plan." Comments can be addressed to RealCom@rpi.edu.
The comment period will extend through Jan. 31.

The Web site also provides
background about the origin, purpose, and timeline for completion.
